Avatar f tn Stand with your feet at hip-width, then bend the banded leg at the knee, raising your foot behind you toward your buttocks. Thighs and hips remain stationary throughout the movement, with back straight. Try pausing with your foot slightly lifted at the beginning of the repetition to get your balance before continuing with the full range of motion. Do 15-20 repetitions. Adductor Muscles Try the ballerina squat to tone your inner thighs, or the adductor muscles.

By the time we got there I really did need help from my midwife but was very glad we waited as long as we did. It was a good experience for me overall.
Avatar m tn We had a pup that fell one story (from a deck, slipped under the railing) and broke a front leg. I wasn't home at the time (traveling on business) and my wife took him to the vet. I did not see X-rays or question, but I recall all that was done was a metal hoop ran along the length of the leg and was somehow connected at the shoulder. He would run around the house, tap, tap, tap... and I remember putting a plastic bag on his leg for him to go outside to toilet when it was wet.

So once all of the medic's and EMT's where there the trouble was trying to get me out of the room and down the stairs, which at my house is VERY difficult. They didn't know how they were going to be able to do it b/c my stairs are so narrow and step that it left the stumped especially b/c they couldn't move my leg from the position that it was in.

Avatar f tn 2 weeks ago I was hit by a car and had my leg broken, the knee socket crushed and my shoulder broken. They performed surgery on the knee about 12 days ago and are about to do surgery on the shoulder. Both are on the left side. Is there any set up I can use that will allow me to walk in any way? As I understand it I will not be able to use a crutch on my left side. Thanks!
Avatar n tn I did drive about 600 miles with few stops and that night it ached almost as much as the night I originally broke it and before the cast was put on. I can hardly put weight on it at times. It also seems to ache more after I have walked on soft or hilly ground. Usually walking on hard surfaces doesn't cause a lot of pain. I can play golf, get it the car and reide home and once I get out of the car it starts to hurt. It usually then clears up in about 15 minutes to 1/2 hour.
Avatar f tn She has this amazing (in place/in home) 3 mile walk that I do daily. When I first started Id have to stop at 1.5miles & take a 15min break than start, after about 2 weeks I could make it the whole 3 miles. Plus she has other fun work out r videos like hip hop, belly dancing, zumba, pretty much something for everybody. She has a KILLER one for butt & leg muscles (I've been doing the workout twice a week for 3months & WOW, my cell & fat seemed to vanish...

Avatar m tn First, it is essential to know that what unusual symptoms you are facing after broken screw. It may be possible that broken screw can impinge nerve and lead to some neurological symptoms. Please consult to a neurologist for a detailed approach. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn Hello, I broke my fibula/Tibia in Feb 2007. I had two surgeries and an external fixator was put in while I recovered. They put rods and screws in as well. I went through physical therapy, but to be honest didn't do my exercises at home like I should have been doing. Since that time, I have been exercising again after the doctor gave me the ok.
Avatar n tn t have intercourse or oral sex either way. But I brushed my arm against some what I suspect might have been vaginal fluid on her leg. She masturbated me through the fabric of my shorts with my penis head exposed (uncircumcised) as the legging was pulled up. I took over before ejaculation.
Avatar m tn I was in a half cast, basically on the back of my leg and below the foot for a touch over a week, so I was unable to move my ankle and leg and was on crutches. Then 2 days ago I went to the outpatients department and the doc took the cast off me and told me to start walking on it with the aid of crutches as it isn't the weight bearing bone. He said that the bone will heal by itself without the cast and even with me putting a bit of pressure on it.
Avatar f tn Felt a gush of fluid so i stood up and it all ran down my leg. While walking to the bathroom it continued to drip. Made it to the hospital and the first test she did said it wasnt my water!!!
Avatar m tn If there was blood and the dog got saliva in the blood in your leg (if the skin was broken) you are at risk. But, you can call the police and have them make the guy monitor the dog for 10 days for symptoms and call the animal control about it. They will tell him the symptoms to look for in the dog. If the dog has no symptoms you will be ok. but then by the time you develop symptoms it is too late (there is no treatment at this stage).
359574 tn?1328360424 Fortunately, it was while trying to get my coat off and the door locked as I came home. In fact, nearly all of my previous smaller accidents were at home--thank heavens. Does anybody else with urge incontinence find that it's worse where it's "safer" to have it happen, or am I just weird?

Avatar f tn t be) Told it was sprained ( in a not so nice way) and to go home and take painkillers!!! On pushing this, so I can at least walk, they placed a bandage on my knee ( not ankle) and gave me crutches... pins and needles, dull ache and heavy sickly feeling is still present as well as not knowing what to do...
1542537 tn?1293207098 Hi, broken bones take a varying amount of time to heal, mostly depending upon the type of bone broken, the age of the person, and the way in which the bone is broken. Larger broken bones, for example the bones in the thigh, or both bones of leg would take a great deal longer to heal, usually six weeks to three months in the average healthy adult. Begin physical therapy as soon as is practical. That will help.
